Project Design: Providing a Foundation for Good M&E

Effective monitoring and evaluation begins with project design. During this webinar, originally held on 5/20/16, M&E Technical Advisor Jaime Costigan proposes two M&E standards for consideration by refugee service providers during project design and proposal development. She then recommends practical steps towards meeting the standards. Kasia Kedzia, Director of Evaluation at Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), also presents practical examples of how M&E is integrated into project or program design processes at LIRS. The META Project aims to improve ORR-funded organizations’ capacity to collect meaningful data, manage it well, analyze it effectively, and use the resulting analyses to improve project design.
